“Running a Food Hub: Learning from Food Hub Closures”

As the final report in the “Running a Food Hub” series, this document highlights case studies of food hubs that have ceased operations and the factors that lead to their closure. The intent of this report is to share the experiences of these hubs to help new hubs overcome barriers to success. The report profiles six hubs: Aganica Farm Club, FoodEx, Grasshoppers Distribution, Growers Collaborative, Pilot Mountain Pride, and Producers & Buyers Co-op. Matson Consulting authored the case study on Pilot Mountain Pride. A copy of the full report can be found here.
